Battery safety
Transportation
Ensure that you comply with international and national
battery transport regulations when transporting batteries
or XM system kits.
The XM system uses a Lithium-ion battery. Lithium batteries are classied as
dangerous goods and strict controls apply on their shipment by air. To reduce
the risk of shipment delays, should you need to return the XM system to
Renishaw for any reason, do not return any batteries.
The operation of wireless appliances on aircraft is forbidden by many airlines
to prevent interference with communications systems. Remove the battery
from the receiver unit when boarding an aircraft to ensure it cannot be
switched on inadvertently.
Fibre optic safety
The XM system contains bre optics. In the unlikely event
that the exible steel conduit is cut or severed, bre optic
splinters may be produced.
Fibre optic splinters can be very small and extremely sharp.
Should any bre optic splinter become embedded in the skin,
medical attention should be sought immediately.
Should the bre optic become damaged, the following procedure should
be followed (be aware that the affected area might contain splinters of
unattached bre optic which can present a hazard):
• Immediately power down the XM system.
• Wear eye protection and protective gloves when handling damaged
or exposed bre optics.
• Carefully remove the XM system from the machine and package in a
suitable thick-walled cardboard box, clearly marked ‘Caution: exposed
bre optics, handle with care’ on the outside of the box.
• Return the unit to the nearest Renishaw ofce.
No attempt should be made to repair or dismantle the bres from the laser unit.
NOTE: Fibre optic splinters do not show up on X-rays.

Principles of measurement
XM multi-axis calibrator
The XM multi-axis calibrator is a laser measurement system capable
of measuring six degrees of freedom:
• Along a linear axis
• In any orientation
• From a single set-up
The measured errors are:
• Linear positioning of the axis
• Angular rotation in the vertical plane (pitch)
• Angular rotation in the horizontal plane (yaw)
• Straightness deviation in the vertical plane
• Straightness deviation in the horizontal plane
• Roll about the linear axis of travel

Operation
The fourth (diode source) beam is used to measure straightness and roll.
Straightness
The vertical and horizontal straightness error is measured
using a position sensor within the receiver and transmitted
back to the laser via wireless communication.
Roll
Roll measurement is performed optically using a roll
detector inside the receiver. Roll measurements are
absolute between the launch and the receiver.

3
4
The XM system uses three laser beams (1, 2 and 3) to measure the linear,
pitch and yaw errors using interferometry. The light emitting diode (LED) beam
(4) is used for straightness and roll measurements.
The basic measurement concept is:
Angular
The three interferometric beams provide a linear
measurement of the separation between launch and
receiver. Because the distance between these beams is
known, angular errors of pitch and yaw can be determined
by the system.
Linear
Using the pitch and yaw measurements, the linear error is
determined based on the combination of beams 1, 2 and 3
to calculate the linear error at the position of beam 4.

NOTE: The XM-600 supports additional functionality
when used on a CMM which is equipped with Renishaw’s
UCC system. This functionality is accessed using UCC
Assist, which is part of UCC Suite – a software package
for the CMM controller. The XM-600 is supported from
UCC Suite V5.4.
UCC Assist enables additional features which are unique to the XM-600,
and contains support information on how to use the XM-600 to calibrate a
UCC-equipped CMM.
